Scientific paper

Asymmetric structures in debris disks are often attributed to resonant confinement with migrating planets (Wyatt 2003). We study the impact of planet mass and eccentricity on the structures generated in the disk, using symplectic N-body simulations. The trapping of particles in resonances appears very sensitive to the planet eccentricity. This suggests that clumps in disks are unlikely to be generated by this process unless with very massive planets. This work extends previous analytical studies and provides an exhaustive collection of the structures a migrating planet can generate in a debris disk.
